There are many food stalls on 2 floors inside the market. We are back there eating.
I ordered one with green sauce.
Turns out, the "parrot" (perico) is a big flour tortilla filled with meat and whole beans, topped with lots of melted cheese.
Needed some eggs and they don't make them without the bean puree and red sauced tortillas.
The "food court" is well organised, the stalls can be big or small, no concrete benches like in 2 other cities I have visited (Oaxaca, Morelia). One thing is the same everywhere, though, the stalls all vie so furiously for customers.
Repurposing a chilli sauce bottle. They also use drink bottles.
Chilli shopping
Second time seeing habanero seco
Another spelling is "pulla". Same pronunciation.
Mexican marjoram . Leaves must be big. Mine in the garden is much smaller.
2 different colourss of hibiscus. Darker has more color and lighter red has more taste. I notice Mexicans order a glass or a whole pitcher.
My chilli collection so far. I had to check how much room I had left after filling my bag with these.
Back to the market...
I might regret eating these blood cockles. Nothing happened but next time I would rather them cooked. These are not hairy like ones I ate in Asia.
Prawns in a spicy sauce. Not really "spicy". Some toursits be like "I don't like Mexican food. Chillis in every thing. Too spicy" Errr.... not always.
Snacks. Very sweet jackfruit (pods). Red balls are tamarind with chilli.
Sugarcane juice. The chilli/salt/lime trays are for other fruits.
Next to the sugarcane stall is another fruit stall and they have these beautiful wild pineapples that busted my lips.
I saw the sign there every day. Not sure why they think it's "flor de maguey". The name they use is pre-hispanic but pretty sure it's no flower of agave.
Some big celebration was happening in the centre. Huge press presence, also a bigger presence of police and security. It was probably the birthday of the city, Guadalajara.
So many designs

Boy noticed me with a camera and he smiled. I wasn't even trying to make a photo of him but he didn't stop smiling.
PS: New to me on this trip that a bunch of sites are blocked, either partially or completely, by some internet providers. Surprisingly this site is partially block. Did not experience this on previous trips.
